Arvana Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
(Unaudited and Restated)
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Arvana Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as Turinco, Inc. On July 24, 2006, the Company changed its name to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of a telecommunications business. The Company discontinued its telecommunications operations as of December 31, 2009.
On February 3, 2023, the Company acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC, which was organized in the State of Florida on April 1, 2019. Down2Fish operates a Florida based fishing charter business offering a range of curated maritime adventures including inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area in addition to St Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte, and Clearwater. Down2Fish generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services as well as the lease of Down2Fish’s marine equipment.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 5, 2024. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or any other future periods.
The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2024 and for the related periods are presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and the evaluation of unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, a government-issued bond, accounts payable, notes payable to related parties, other amounts due to related parties, and notes payable to financial institutions. The carrying amounts of cash, the government-issued bond, accounts payable, and other amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Notes payable to related parties and financial institutions consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings. The fair value of these notes payable approximates their carrying amounts because the interest rates approximate current market rates or because these instruments are carried at amounts reflecting current borrowing terms.
8
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash deposits at financial institutions in accounts that may at times exceed federally insured limits. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of insured FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks.
Income Taxes
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect during the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Stock Split
On February 21, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split of the common shares. The stock split was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State effective March 31, 2023, and was reflected in the market through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on April 19, 2023. All references in these financial statements to common stock, share counts, and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires that the value of the award be established at the date of grant and then expensed over the vesting period of the grant. The method of determining the fair value of share-based payments depends on the type of award. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.
For share-based awards which are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date, the cost is measured and recognized at that date.
For share-based awards vesting over a certain service period with no market conditions, the cost is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on inputs determined for the grant date. Once the per-share fair value on the grant date is established, the award is expensed over a weighted-average service period for the entire award using the straight-line method (also referred to as the single-award method).
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures of options when such forfeitures occur rather than estimating forfeitures at the grant date. Therefore, the Company records stock-based compensation expense assuming all option holders will complete the requisite service period for the options to fully vest, and then an adjustment is recorded in the period during which forfeitures occur. Compensation cost is not reversed for stock options that have vested prior to forfeiture.
9
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants. The Company had outstanding stock options at September 30, 2024 and at September 30, 2023, which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would be anti-dilutive due to net losses in both periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted by the Company
In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023, which adoption has not had a material effect on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
To conform with the current year presentation on the statement of operations, the Company made the following reclassifications for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023:
| • | Lease
Revenue: $ |
| • | Cost
of Services: $ |
These reclassifications had no impact on net loss, total assets, or total liabilities for the period presented.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the Closing Date under the acquisition method of accounting.

Note 9 – Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2024, a total of shares were issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, shares were issued, of which shares were outstanding and shares were classified as treasury stock.
During

total gross proceeds of $
During

On April 19, 2023, the Company effected a 3-for-1 forward stock split for shareholders of record as of March 31, 2023. All share and per-share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split in all periods presented.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued shares of restricted common stock at an approximate price of $ per share as part of executing a consulting services agreement with its majority stockholder.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Board of Directors approved the decision to exercise the claw-back provision included in the consulting services agreement, and the claw-back provision was formally exercised by the Company for all shares before December 31, 2024. Due to the exercise of the claw-back provision, the stock-based compensation expense associated with this award was fully reversed and no net expense was recorded.
15
Note 9 – Common Stock – (continued)
Subsequent to the issuance of the previous financial statements, the Company conducted an examination of its stock records and determined shares previously reported as treasury stock were no longer held by the Company as of January 1, 2024. The Company concluded the shares were reissued in a prior period, and the impact is immaterial. The Company has removed the shares from treasury stock and made a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. The impact of this adjustment is immaterial, and it did not affect net loss or cash flows in any period presented.
other shares of common stock were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023.
Note 10 – Stock Options
The Company adopted the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective September 30, 2022. The Plan provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to officers, directors, key employees, and consultants. Under the Plan option prices are set by the Compensation Committee and may not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for employee stock options and requires that the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had options outstanding with vesting periods ranging from to years and exercise prices of approximately $ per share. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, a total of options—consisting of vested options and unvested options—were forfeited by the former Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the board. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to modify the terms of the options granted to the former Chief Executive Officer to cancel any vested options not exercised within 30 days of termination for cause. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur; accordingly, a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $ was recorded in the three months ending September 30, 2024.
Subsequent
to the issuance of the previous financial statements, the Company conducted an examination of its accounting policies for stock-based
compensation and determined certain awards were not properly expensed in prior periods due to the application of incorrect vesting periods
and other computational errors. As a result, the cumulative stock-based compensation expense was understated by $
16
Note 10 – Stock Options – (continued)
Total stock-based compensation was $ for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $ for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company will recognize the remaining $ as follows:

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein relates to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as well as the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

See Note 12 to the financial statements for explanations of the restatements.
Arvana
Arvana was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as Turinco, Inc. to engage in any legal undertaking. On July 24, 2006, Arvana changed its name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. on the acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. The Company discontinued efforts related to that business as of December 31, 2009.
Arvana acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC on February 3, 2023. Down2Fish was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 1, 2019. Down2Fish operates a Florida based fishing charter business that offers a range of curated maritime adventures including inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers, and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area. Down2Fish generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services to the general public as well as an operating lease of its equipment to a related party.
Stockholders approved a forward stock split of the Company’s common shares on a 3-for-1 basis effected on April 19, 2023 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2023. All changes in the capital structure have been given retroactive effect in this periodic report.
The Company’s principal office is located at 299 Main Street, 13th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, and our telephone number is (702) 899-1072.
24
The Company’s registered agent in the State of Nevada is AA Registered Agents, located at 4869 Nightwood Court, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149.
The Company is traded on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink Sheets Current Information market platform under the symbol “AVNI.”
The Company has continued to seek business opportunities in real estate development while continuing to operates its fishing charter business. On December 12, 2023, the Company announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire a Nevada-based company which is intent on expanding its specialty use concept to acquire and repurpose vacant shopping malls, outlet locations, and big box stores to attract new tenants from targeted industries that offer goods or services that are not available online. The parties have ended their discussions of the proposed transaction, and management is evaluating alternative options for pursuing this business model.
Plan of Operation
The Company’s plan of operation is to support the development of its business, and to build on its existing business model. The Company believes an expansion of marketing efforts around Tampa Bay to offer a wider range of services, such as dolphin tours, will help establish the Down2Fish brand, attract more customers and increase revenues. Expansion into new service offerings will however require capital sufficient to finance the purchase of another vessel and additional boating equipment. The Company believes dolphin tours can return net revenue on a consistent basis if Down2Fish is able to attract sufficient customers to each excursion. Down2Fish is currently licensed and equipped to carry no more than six customers on each fishing charter. A vessel designed primarily for dolphin tours can carry from fifty to one hundred customers. The Company’s primary impediment for equipment procurement and installation is cost. The Company is presently considering financing options that might become available in the near term, but it has no assurance that financing options will become available or that the financing terms would be tenable for the Company’s business. Unless or until the Company can offer excursions catering to a greater number of customers on each excursion, the Company will continue to focus on offering more fishing charter excursions to build revenue and improve the results of operations.
Restatement Impact
As discussed in Note 12, the Company identified errors in its application of certain accounting policies including the capitalization of website development costs, accrual of professional fees, and accounting for stock-based compensation. These errors resulted in the misstatement of net loss for the first three quarters of 2024. As a result, the Company has restated its financial statements for the affected periods.
The financial statements and related disclosures presented in this Quarterly Report reflect revised and corrected amounts. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section below reflects restated results for all affected periods.
25
Results of Operations
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company obtained financing through related-party debt to sustain operations, maintain the charter fishing business, and provide management the resources needed to evaluate other business opportunities.
The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
| September 30, | September 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||||||

| Net Loss | $ | (59,205 | ) | $ | (120,727 | ) | $ | (336,141 | ) | $ | (1,163,396 | ) | ||||
Revenue
Total revenue from operations as $55,964 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $55,634 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 0.59%. Total revenue from operations was $18,134 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $22,580 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 19.69%. Revenue was comprised of fishing charter services and lease income from the lease of the Company’s marine equipment. The Company expects charter revenue to taper off in the fourth quarter as the fishing season comes to an end.
Cost of Services
Cost of services for operations was $26,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $23,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 14.62%. Cost of services for operations was $8,412 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 43.82%. Cost of services was comprised of expenses directly related to operating the Company’s marine equipment.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $309,957 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $381,883 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 18.83%. Operating expenses were $49,952 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $112,740 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 55.69%. The changes in operating expenses over the comparative periods were attributed to reductions in general and administrative expenses including stock-based compensation and executive payroll. There was also a significant reduction in general and administrative expenses due to the $59,602 adjustment related to forfeitures of unvested stock options. The Company expects operating expenses to increase in future periods as management’s business development strategies are implemented including increases in accounting and auditing fees.
26
Other Income and Expenses
Other income and expenses resulted in a net expense of $55,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $813,763 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other income and expenses resulted in a net expense of $18,975 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $15,594 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The changes in other income and expenses over the comparative periods was primarily attributed to the loss recognized with the acquisition of Down2Fish. The Company expects to continue to recognize other income and expenses in future periods as debt instruments tied to the fishing charter vessels continue to incur interest.
Net Loss
Net loss was $336,141 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,163,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 71.11%. Net loss was $59,205 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $120,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 50.96%. The change in net loss over the comparative periods was primarily attributed to a decrease in losses from operating expenses and the loss recognized on the asset purchase of Down2Fish. The Company expects to continue to realize net losses from operations over the next twelve months as management works to implement its business model.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of $25,000 for website development costs. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of the property and equipment acquired as part of Down2Fish.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital structure, and stockholders’ deficit.
The Company had current assets of $10,794 as of September 30, 2024, consisting of cash and a bond, compared to $16,386 as of September 30, 2023 and $27,171 as of December 31, 2023, with a similar asset composition. Total assets were $202,538 as of September 30, 2024, including current assets, property and equipment, and intangible assets, compared to $209,283 as of September 30, 2023 and $216,549 as of December 31, 2023.
The Company had current liabilities of $859,323 as of September 30, 2024 consisting of accounts payable, deferred revenue, related-party payables, and the current portion of long-term debt, compared to current liabilities of $201,136 as of September 30, 2023 and to $338,487 as of December 31, 2023, with a similar composition. Total liabilities were $1,387,951 as of September 30, 2024, consisting of current liabilities and notes payable, compared to $201,136 as of September 30, 2023 and to $1,178,675 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in current liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was attributed primarily to funds borrowed from related parties partially offset by repayments of notes payable and the transition of notes payable from long-term debt to the current portion of notes payable as the maturity dates of certain promissory notes draw near.
27
The Company had a working capital deficit of $848,529 as of September 30, 2024, compared to $184,750 as of September 30, 2023, and to $311,316 as of December 31, 2023. The fluctuation in these deficits was primarily attributed to the transition of long-term debt to current liabilities as notes payable reached their maturity dates and were paid off using funds received from the issuance of new related-party notes payable.
Stockholders’ deficit was $1,185,43 as of September 30, 2024, compared to $871,437 as of September 30, 2023, and to $962,126 as of December 31, 2023. The stockholders’ deficit has continued to increase as the Company incurs professional fees and other expenses related to developing management’s business plans.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $208,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $148,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Non-cash items impacting net cash used in operating activities included depreciation, stock-based compensation, and loss on asset purchase. In addition, changes in balance sheet accounts—such as current assets, accounts payable, deferred revenue, and related-party payables—also affected operating cash flow. The Company expects to continue to have net cash flow used in operating activities over the next twelve months or until such time as Down2Fish generates sufficient revenue from operations to sustain the costs of operations.
The Company has no current plans to make any additional changes in the number of employees.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $25,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $45,911 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company anticipates future needs for cash used in investing activities due to expected investments in the expansion of its fishing charter business. However, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had no formal commitments for capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $221,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $61,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to funds received from related-party notes payable, partially offset by repayments of existing notes payable and related-party obligations. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was attributed to funds received from the issuance of notes payable related to the acquisition of Down2Fish. The Company expects to continue to use net cash provided by financing activities over the next twelve months generated through additional private equity placements, public offerings, or private debt to fund continued expansion of its business.
The Company’s assets were insufficient as of September 30, 2024 to implement its plan of operation to expand its business operations. Management anticipates conducting additional private equity offerings to meet the Company’s objectives, and may seek additional loans in the short term to sustain operations. Management is confident the Company’s efforts to realize additional funding will be successful. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements, and it does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
28
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.”
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management continually reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Accounting assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from management’s estimates. A summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which are included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K. In the notes management discusses accounting policies that are significant in determining the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company identified and corrected errors related to its application of several accounting policies including the capitalization of website development costs, accrual of professional fees, and accounting for stock-based compensation.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2024.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024, due to material weaknesses in internal controls related to the application of certain accounting policies, including the capitalization of website development costs, accrual of professional fees, and accounting for stock-based compensation. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of the Company’s previously filed financial statements.
29
To support the implementation of remedial actions and strengthen the Company’s financial reporting process, the Board of Directors appointed a new Chief Financial Officer on May 20, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
However, as disclosed above, subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the Company began implementing remedial measures to address the identified control deficiencies. These measures include:
| • | Hiring a new Chief Financial Officer to oversee the implementation of remedial actions; |
| • | Enhancing internal review and approval processes for accounting estimates and journal entries; |
| • | Improving documentation and evaluation of complex or judgmental accounting matters; and |
| • | Increasing oversight over third-party service providers involved in financial reporting. |
Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation efforts and will make further changes as necessary to ensure internal control over financial reporting is effective in future periods.

CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management and Strategy for Handling Sensitive Data
The Company is committed to maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive data collected, maintained, or transmitted across its systems. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its third-party service providers—such as charter booking platforms—handle sensitive information, including confidential business data and personal information. Protecting this data is critical to its operations and reputation.
The Company employs administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to mitigate cybersecurity risks. However, its risk management strategy has certain limitations due to factors such as the evolving nature of cyber threats, resource constraints, and the inherent vulnerabilities associated with the technologies used by both the Company and its third-party service providers. The Company relies on cloud service providers, consultants, and other vendors for core business functions. These providers may have access to sensitive data or information systems, and management oversees them through vendor diligence processes. Vendors are generally assessed for cybersecurity risk based on the type of service provided, level of access, and related supply chain exposure.
31
While the Company has adopted a cybersecurity governance framework designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, the Company acknowledges that its current risk management strategy may not fully mitigate all potential risks posed by emerging technologies or sophisticated threat actors. A cybersecurity incident could result in reputational damage, regulatory liability, financial loss, and disruption of business operations.
The Company has not, to date, experienced any cybersecurity incidents. However, there is no guarantee that its systems—or those of its third-party vendors—will remain unaffected by future attacks or breaches.
Governance of Cybersecurity Issues
The Company has implemented a cybersecurity governance framework under which management is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing material cybersecurity risks. The Company has not engaged any third-party cybersecurity consultants, nor does it currently have personnel with specialized cybersecurity expertise.
Under the governance framework, any material cybersecurity threats identified by management are promptly reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee holds primary oversight responsibility for cybersecurity matters, including:
| • | Management risks relating to data privacy, technology, and information security; |
| • | Evaluation of The Company’s cybersecurity safeguards and backup systems; |
| • | Oversight of internal controls, cybersecurity policies, and procedures; and |
| • | Coordination with management and auditors regarding information security practices. |
The Audit Committee receives an annual briefing on material cybersecurity threats and incidents, including topics such as risk assessments, vendor relationships, control decisions, and responses to actual or attempted breaches. The Committee may also recommend changes or enhancements to the Company’s cybersecurity policies and controls based on these discussions.
The Company has not identified any material cybersecurity risks or incidents as of the date of this filing. However, the Company cannot guarantee its cybersecurity safeguards will prevent breaches or breakdowns of third-party service providers’ information technology systems, particularly in the face of continually evolving cybersecurity threats and increasingly sophisticated threat actors.
A cybersecurity incident could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation, in addition to potentially subjecting the Company to government investigations, litigation, fines, penalties, or other damages.
